HONG KONG: RESETTLEMENT OF INDO-CHINESE REFUGEES

ENDO-CH

UNLI8/3.

Please refer to FCO telnos 177 and 178 of 2 August. I enclose a copy of UNHCR's formal reply, which tells us nothing more than we already knew, to the note (copy enclosed for ease of reference) which Keith MacInnes and I left with Hordijk, the Head of the Asian Section of UNHCR, on 3 August. May I leave it to you to copy to posts of countries of resettlement if you think it would be useful for them to

see.
